Media & celebrity say about Guilin

Mention you're going to Guilin to any Chinese person and you'll almost certainly receive longing looks of jealousy. For many it's a dream destination, and it's easy to see why. Otherworldly karst topography provides a stunning backdrop to a city set alongside the tranquil Li River and dotted with scenic lakes, while many of the streets are lined with osmanthus trees, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

The Li River is truly like no other place on Earth. This was the first place in China where I actually felt like I was transported back in time. I was prepared for so many of the things we saw in other cities: the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, etc. But traveling down the Li River, I genuinely felt like I was in a completely different and unique part of the world. I can't imagine that scenery in any other country, on any other continent. "
